With all of our imperfections, we begin and end each day at the foot of the cross. It is here where our story begins and we pray it is where it will end. "Jesus said: Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light." ~Matthew 11:28-30~

Listen to God's voice at the foot of the crucifix." ~St. Gaspar del Bufaro~

Psalm For Students

Happy First Friday!

I just thought I'd share our copy work and prayer to close out our 2nd week of school! This is going in the front of our Learning Binders behind the Love Letters...and also taped on the bathroom mirror:+) Please forgive me for not remembering the original source or where I got it!?

Psalm For Students

Recite this prayer in deep faith before and after study. Jesus will bless you abundantly.

1. The Lord is my teacher. I shall want for nothing.

2. He will teach me all subjects. He leads me to his ocean of knowledge.

3. He answers all my doubts. He fills me with His wisdom and leads me through the path of His knowledge.

4. I shall not fear even the most difficult exams, because the Lord is with me. His words and promises strengthen me always.

5. He makes easy for me even the most difficult subjects. He is annointing my head with His wisdom. My answer sheets are filled with the right answers.

6. He gives me blessings to study well during my study time. I will be always a faithful student to Jesus who is my teacher.

What a lovely adaptation of Psalm 23. Christ truly is our Shpherd ! And the psalm for students is a wonderful way to teach them that Christ is with them even in school and their school work!! God bless.

A Prayer of the Cure' of Ars, St. John Vianney (Patron Saint of Priests) in the Year of The Priest

I love you, O my God and my only desire is to love you until the last breath of my life. I love you, O my infinitely lovable God, and I would rather die loving you, than live without loving you. I love you, Lord, and the only grace I ask is to love you eternally....My God, if my tongue cannot say in every moment that I love you, I want my heart to repeat it to you as often as I draw breath.Amen

The Anima Christi (Soul of Christ)

Soul of Christ, sanctify me

Body of Christ, save me

Blood of Christ, inebriate me

Water from Christ's side, wash me

Passion of Christ, strengthen me

O good Jesus, hear me

Within Thy wounds hide me

Suffer me not to be separated from Thee

From the malicious enemy defend me

In the hour of my death call me And bid me come unto Thee That I may praise Thee with Thy saints and with Thy angels Forever and ever.

Amen

The Anima Christi is a prayer from around the 14th century. It is still widely used after receiving the body and blood of Our Lord, Jesus Christ in Holy Communion.
